Space, Staff, and Stuff: Identifying your Community’s Resources
Space, Staff, Stuff: Identifying Your Community’s Resources is a customizable tool for community planners. This tool helps planners identify their community organizations’ roles, responsibilities, and resources and determine potential gaps in their all-hazards planning efforts. It is designed to benefit any community regardless of demographics, infrastructure, current levels of planning, or availability of public health and health care resources.
Space, Staff, and Stuff addresses the following public health preparedness capabilities:
- Capability 1: Community Preparedness
- Capability 6: Information Sharing
- Capability 8: Medical Countermeasure Dispensing and Administration
- Capability 10: Medical Surge
- Capability 15: Volunteer Management
What can communities gain from using this tool?
As a result of using the activities in this tool, communities can update their community resource lists on a regular basis using an all-hazards approach. Communities will be able to identify resources that they would use in nonemergency situations, such as additional event space for meetings and conferences and transportation support for home-bound individuals.
